Main Stand

Here's an idea...if the rebuild has an ecological twist and one where protecting a threatened species is paramount, we fund that via the stadium's naming.

That the pipistrelle is noted, and we're gonna play soccer, why not...

Batsball ground? I think it has a ring to it.

Chaps? Chaps.

Maybe nuno could be the batman and EM commissioner Gordon.
 
The NFFC guru re the PT extension has provided another insightful update; worth having a peruse.

I think some of their info, actually, stems from the current consultation they're working on (its not directly linked, but probably adjacent, at least from a planning perspective).

Not Danny Taylor level of detail, but certainly v interesting.

Do you have a link?
 
It’s all a bit dull and exceedingly boring now. Where are the plans to develop the stadium beyond the PT stand?
Have we submitted new plans for the PT stand and Bridgeford to make them bigger in our push towards EMs 50k seater stadium wish?

If so, where are the drawings?
What’s the plan for the BC as without that being redeveloped we can’t get near the 50k

It’s beyond tedious now. 7 years later trying to develop 1 stand and all this BS red tape.

Was any consideration ever given to buying the rugby club land and making plans to combine our site and that site into a new multi purpose development for both teams?

Anymore delays and we might as well look for a new site as at this rate it will 2035 before anything is completed

You're not wrong, pointless red tape and political machinations is what is holding back this, much needed, super huge development.

As per the DT article a few pips priorly, it took nearly 30 years for fulham to build their mega stand atop the Thames towpath.

We're trying to build in shitty west bridgford; why is it taking so long!
And, as you say, not even a drawing to behold.

Think back to the unveiling of the proposed new PT stand; the plans were the last thing to be made public; you can be sure that will be the case for the rest of the ground.

Reading the DT article, the only new news in that lot was the bit about how long it took Fulham to build their stand, and the comparison he drew with the delays in both projects.

Havent read that yet, but will do later. Not a very impressive stand at Fulham, or very big. I think behind the stand the facilities are excellent, but when I was there last season I thought it was good, but unremarkable

Anybody who posts on line that joining the Bridgeford stand with a new PT stand is a virtual impossibility almost certainly doesn't work for a contractor , so you can rule that out.

Why?

Why wouldn't that be part of the original planning and drawings? In order to maximise capacity, you would think this is the most obvious solution, and therefore have architects create a vision delivering this?

I can see the issue at the opposite end, but creating a 'horseshoe' design for the 3 stands is possible. Even if it means amending the PT design so this can be accomplished

No idea but he is in the know . Apparently.
 
There's more useful info in that one article from Taylor than there has been from any of the know-nowts in this Fred over the last few years.

Great to finally have an update from someone who actually knows what they're talking about
